ANAGATA
Old Friend

"where did you deck?" ryan's face was really scary.

Vy grimacing.

"If you ask, answered"

"There's a butterfly, keep chasing."

"Where are the butterflies?" ask Ryan.

"flying. Had not been arrested, adek see brother fell from the bike, continue to adek please anter to his house " replied Vy with a very small voice.

Ryan took his breath.

"Now come in"

Vy followed her brother's steps into the house.

"Papaaa" whined Vy, he sat next to his papa.

Adnan's hand was holding his son.

"Sister, don't be rude to his sister"

Vy smiled mockingly at his brother.

"What smile?" ryan again.

Vy immediately changed his facial expression as Adnan was about to look at him.

"For instance, brother."

"Not yet enter the house immediately go." said Ryan again.

"Udah, no. Now clean up first." tell Adnan.

"Which adek room?" ask Vy.

"The door is white" replied Aland who was walking from the side of the house.

"thank you, um" Vy walked up the stairs of his new home. There really is a white door. Then he went inside. His papa said, Aunt Alana has prepared all the needs of Vy. Vy just needs to carry himself. And sure enough, there are many clothes that are neatly arranged, as well as school supplies.

Vy then took a shower and changed clothes. The little boy came down and looked for his father.

"Papaaa" cried Vy.

"The voice is well" Ryan warned his sister.

Vy is looking for the source of her voice. Apparently his brother was making milk.

"You too" he said.

Without saying much, Ryan also made a glass of milk for his sister. He took her to the family room.

"Tante Alana's home yet?"

"Here, deck" replied Ryan.

"Continue, where's papa?" ask Vy.

"So go with Ryan. Not long home. It was also a promise to have dinner together" Ryan stroked his sister's still-moist hair.

"The hair is still wet" Ryan said.

"So find papa, want help to dry the adek hair" Vy honestly.

Ryan stands. He walked somewhere and came back with a towel in his hand.

"Not helping me"

✨✨✨

Last night, Adnan kept his promise to eat with his two children. Alana had also prepared a housekeeper who came in the morning and went home in the afternoon. The worker only needs to clean the house and yard.

This morning, Adnan and his two children ran around the complex in the morning. It's a weekend now, so less vehicles are passing through the streets.

"Capek, pa" Vy reached out his hands, asking the papa to carry her.

"No, Dad" Ryan said as he watched his father take Vy into his arms.

Ryan crouched down in front of his sister, asking her sister to go up behind her back.

The 9-year-old hugged his brother's neck and rested his chin on his shoulder.

"Breakfast outside, huh?" adnan asked his two sons.

Fortunately, the two children did not choose food.

"You're porridge, pa" pinta the little one.

"Yes, breakfast is porridge first." Adnan leads the way.

There are many changes in this complex. The vacant lot is almost full of houses. Several times he saw the astonished look of people while passing by. The only thing Adnan is grateful for is that, in the past, he did not have time to introduce himself to the media before finally choosing Vineland to calm down. He doesn't have to worry that people will know him.

"His chicken porridge is 3, not spicy" Adnan said before sitting on an empty bench.

Hearing the voice he recognized, a man turned his head. And well, he found Adnan who was stroking the sweat on his daughter's temple.

"Pa, that looks like the old om, the one in the old house" Ryan told his papa.

Adnan looked back. There, Atlas was laughing lightly and looking at him.

"Long time no see" the two then shook hands. Atlas moved the table and sat down next to Ryan.

"morning, um" Ryan kissed the back of Atlas' hand.

"It's big it turns out"

Vy's round eyes looked at Atlas, then looked at his papa again. He reluctantly asked, but still stretched out his hand and shook the hand of the adult man in front of him.

"Papa's boy"

Atlas chuckles.

"It's Vy, right?"

Vy nodded.

"Om know?"

"Sir, this is papa's friend." said Adnan.

Atlas fiddled with his phone, then pointed the screen at Vy.

"When I was a kid" said Vy.

"Yes, and this is om, who is sitting next to Vy" pointed Atlas at her in the photo.

"Not remembering him, um. His son was a little boy at the time" Ryan said.

"Yes, it's still a minute" Atlas agreed to Ryan's remarks.

After breakfast together, Ryan takes his sister to play in the park complex, leaving behind his papa and Atlas.

"I didn't expect to see you here" Atlas opened the conversation.

"Why not? My house is here, most likely I will return "

Atlas nodded.

"In addition, your work is also here. Lately I saw Mr. Aland was busy. "

"That's why I came back" Adnan said.

The two old friends exchanged stories, recalling the events of a few years ago that made them acquainted.

"Pa, I'm tired" the little boy sat in his lap.

"Go home now!" bring Adnan.

"I go home first" said Adnan.

Atlas also stood up .

"I want to go home too. My youngest son came home today, ask to be picked up"

Now replace Adnan who holds Vy behind him.

"Where's the house?" ryan was surprised when he realized Atlas had been following his steps.

"Aisle 5" replied Atlas.

"Papa's house is also in aisle 5" Ryan told me.

"Oh yeah?"

Ryan nodded.

"Don't you the new neighbor well, daughter om had a story"

"Either, om. I don't know anyone here, other than me" Ryan said.

"Hello kakaaak" cried Vy when he saw Raya playing with her brother.

Raya.

"Halo adeek" Raya keeps her hose.

"Who's deck?" adnan whispered to his son.

"The brother who fell from the bike yesterday" replied Vy .

"You're down, pa"

Adnan dropped his son.

"Eh, is the papa this good?" Raya kissed the back of Adnan's hand.

"Yes" replied Adnan short.

"Darling, why are his clothes so wet?" ask Atlas.

"Again the bicycle wash, papi. But look at this little adek, so it's called first" replied Raya .

"Your son?" ask Adnan.

Atlas nodded.

"This is my house"

"My house is next door" Adnan replied.

"Little sister, play with sister want to?" tanya Raya's.

"My name is Vy, brother. Not a little brother" said Vy.

"Sorry, Vy. Brother doesn't know. Um, I'm gonna take Vy to play, okay?"

"Vy took a shower first. It was sports. Later om asked his brother to make Vy anterin here again. Well, Pamit, Atlas "
